Dear Editor:
I am a 7th grader that goes to John Black Public School. I believe our government and some of the money siphoned to the school board through fundraising should go towards upgrading our environment-killing buses to slick electric buses that are environmentally healthy.
If school boards get electric buses then we wouldn’t have to deal with the stench left behind by the exhaust. Also, eventually the buses would pay themselves off because they would not have to deal with the rising gasoline prices. The electric buses are also environmentally friendly and don’t put strain on the environment, unlike gasoline buses which kill nature with pollution.
We would also be able to follow suit with America because President Joe Biden has donated a large sum of money towards upgrading buses. Electric buses also are more safe in some ways, which are a more low centre of gravity so the buses wouldn’t flip as easily, fires are less likely, and electric vehicles have modernized crumple technology that reduces damage to the driver in case of a frontal collision.
Finally, if the bus were to flip, some electric vehicles have reinforced roofs. So please consider what I have written today. If not for you, for the environment.
Sebastian Krewenki,
